[INTRO] Welcome Tigara

[Taymist]

Hey Tig *huggles*

 

Well I believe that my sister Brid recruited you lol... and you already know a lot of us from other Orgs so I'll just say hi and welcome to the Band. I'm the Training Officer so if you have any problems during your Recruit time just shout me.

 

I'll see you when you get to The Barracks for your week with the Infantry too. Meantime, sit back, relax and prepare yourself for a warm welcome from everyone else.

 

Now, are you ready for the Official Spiel??? Of course you aren't. Tie yourself down securely or you'll get blown away by its amazingness :D Corki will be along with it tomorrow.

 

*hands over lots of Guinfantry*

[BridMorgan]

Tig!!! How surprised I am to see you here! hee hee! But you must hold on to you socks, hat or any other loose fitting clothing cause you won't believe the official spiel!

 

hee hee *flyingtacklehugs* Welcome to the Band!

[kait]

welcome, welcome!

[son of battles]

Well, well.. look who finally decided to join us!!

 

Welcome to the Band Tig!!!

 

You know me, so I won't give a fancy introduction, but I will be one of your RLO's for your wek in the Cavalry. Will have some fun tasks for you to be about.

 

*hands a bandy*

 

Welcome again!!

[Kara_J]

Tig! Woohoo! *joins to Tig at the hip* there..now you won't be physically blown away by the Spiel...you may still be blown away mentally but I can't do anything about that! :lol:

 

*hands a Guinny or 3*

 

There you go! I look forward to seing you in the Infantry! :D

[DeathDealer]

*Strips nakid, except for the pink slippers*

 

Don't mind me, I do this for Corki's Speils as it saves from having to buy new clothes when these are blown off.

 

*Joins Tig in a mental link, and with their minds melded, he goes insane from the horrors of the Pink mind*

 

Sorry, just trying to keep you being blown away mentally.

 

 

WELCOME!!! when you get all settled and have chosen the Infantry (hint hint), you can learn how to play THE ORG GAME!!! loads of fun, and blood, and bashing, slashing, smashing, and trash talking!

 

Great to meet you, hope you have loads of fun!!

 

*Waits in rapt, drooling attention for the Speil!*

[Corki]

*laughs*

 

Don't worry about Footy over there. He's never been the same since he joined the Band. You'll get used to him. Anyway, do hold onto your hat and socks as you get ready to take the magical and mystical ride that is the Official Spiel!

 

*official spiel*

 

Welcome Tigara! An email explaining important information about the Band is currently sitting in your inbox! Take a read! Also check your PMs too! ;)

 

Basically, the Band of the Red Hand is the Travel and Music ORG at DM! By signing up for the Band, you have joined the successful Raw Recruit Scheme. By signing up for the off board site, you will be able to experience the whole process to the maximum! The Executive Officer, F Horn of Valere, or I, will assign you to one of the three Regiments (Archers, Cavalry, Infantry) for a week, where you will be given various tasks to perform, hoping that you will get a picture of what time in each Regiment is like. After a week with each Regiment, you will be asked to pick your final choice of a Regiment.

 

While being a Raw Recruit, there is nothing stopping you from earning points like any other Band member. Points lead to promotion within the Band. Below is a list of possible ways to earn points:

 

- writing reviews on places to visit/holidays you have been on

- writing reviews on music albums and gigs

- replying to other people's reviews and asking questions

- composing Jak O' the Shadow verses

- getting articles published in our monthly newsletter, The Hornsounder

- monthly roll call in the Band's private boards at DM

- any DM project we may have, which includes our Quote Project (speak to Amavia and Angyl)

- and much much more I cannot think of right now!

 

If you complete your time as a Raw Recruit within 3 to 4 weeks, you will get a special award (called the Raw Recruit Stripe) which you can add to your siggy as well!

 

While being a Raw Recruit, you get 3 free strikes. This enables you to break Band Law 3 times without being punished by the Redarms, the Band's own police force. If they see any Law breaking, they will either drag you up for a trial or give you a fun spot fine to do (usually 100 lines of something witty). Channeling is a major no-no in the Band. As is spilling Battle Brew, our beloved drink! Once you have used up your 3 strikes, or join the Band's ranks officially, you will face the full force of Band Law like any other Bander does!

 

Of course, we are not all about working 24/7, as we do let our hair down now and then! We are famous for our bar brawls, which happen frequently! Expect one soon! We also like jokes, tales, funny pictures - things that will make us laugh!

 

We also have many games - at DM, which can be found in the stickies, or the new Lottery set up on our new Dicing with Jak O' the Shadows board, which you will see once you sign up for the private boards here at DM. There are also several on the off board site as well! Also, take the lessons to learn our ORG Game, based on the luck of dice! You get the selected weapons of your division, and can fight anyone in the Band! It is currently being revised, but the ideas will all be the same! There are many staff members for the Game who will be willing to help you out.

 

Once you have signed up for the private boards, you will also be able to participate in our lottery game, which takes place in the Dicing With Jak O' the Shadows board. It is a lot of fun, and your winnings can buy you various goodies!

 

If I have left anything out (which I expect I have!), do not hesitate to ask questions! Someone will be able to answer them for you!

 

One last thing...

 

*hand Tigara a Marshal-General's Special Battle Brew*

Glad to see you have it all figured out!! Best to get the strikes out of the way, so you can hurry up and start getting spot fined!
